Menopause in the Workplace Australia

Policy, Support & Technology You Can Implement in 8 Weeks

Retain Your Talent, Reduce Risk

Practical tools for Australian SMEs — built by someone who’s lived it.

Menopause isn't just a personal health issue—it's a business imperative that impacts your bottom line, legal compliance, and workplace culture.

Why Menopause Matters At Work

Protect Your Talent

1 in 4 women consider leaving their job due to unsupported menopause symptoms. Don’t let experienced people walking out the door.

Reduce Risk

67% — never received employer support.
14 days — lost annually per employee to unsupported symptoms.

Meet Your Legal Responsibilities

Are you covered? Australian law is clear, flexible work, anti-discrimination, and psychosocial safety all apply.

Three packages. No lock-in. Start where you're ready.

Tailored menopause policy and procedures that fit your business context and meet Australian legal requirements.

Angie Wood

Angie  has spent years at the intersection of workplace wellbeing, organisational resilience, and women’s health. After navigating menopause firsthand while working in a demanding corporate environment, she saw clearly what was missing — not awareness, but practical tools that businesses could actually use.

That experience, combined with her certification as a Mindfulness Works teacher and a deep background in evidence-based workplace programs, led her to create Menopause and Work — a structured, no-nonsense framework built specifically for Australian SMEs.

Angie works directly with business owners and their teams to implement policies, train managers, and create workplaces where women can stay, contribute, and thrive.

Frequently Asked Questions

Get answers to common questions about implementing menopause support in your workplace.

With 80% of women experiencing menopause during their careers and 25% considering leaving their jobs due to unsupported symptoms, SMEs face significant risks of losing experienced talent. A clear policy protects your business legally, improves retention, and creates a supportive culture.

Our Quick Start program is designed to take 6-8 weeks from initial policy development to full implementation. This timeline is flexible and can be adjusted to fit your business needs and schedule.

No, the digital support tools are optional. Many organisations start with policy and training, then add the app later. The app adds value through private employee self-management features, but the core program is effective without it.

Employee privacy is paramount. If you choose the optional digital tools, all individual symptom tracking and app usage data remains private to the employee. Employers never see personal health information or individual usage patterns.

Our program addresses key Australian legal obligations, including flexible work rights, anti-discrimination law, and WHS psychosocial risk management. The policy framework is designed to meet current legal requirements, though we always recommend final legal review by your own counsel.

 

This is our unique framework for the course. Each session combines evidence-based information about the neuroscience and biology of perimenopause and menopause (the 'Science') with gentle, practical mindfulness exercises that support your emotional and mental health (the 'Soul'). This approach ensures you get credible advice that also nurtures you as a whole person.

 

Yes. The entire toolkit is based on evidence-based mindfulness practices and the latest research in women's health and neuroscience. We've worked with experts to turn complex science into simple, practical strategies that are both effective and easy to follow. The information herein is provided for educational purposes only and does not constitute medical advice. The Rejuvenation Project sources and cites publicly available research to inform and support general well-being. Individuals should consult a qualified healthcare professional for any medical concerns or choices related to menopause.

Don't Let Valuable Talent Walk Away

Every day without a menopause policy puts your experienced employees-and your business-at risk. Take action now.
